I have not even secured services with CE Thorn yet and am already very impressed the professionalism and attentiveness I received during my initial phone call!

I called this office to find out a price estimate for tax preparation and was told this was only for businesses that use this company. This is not for individual tax preparation. It was nice that they referred me to a CPA, but they referred me to a Cpa by the name of Gwen who said she is not taking individual tax preparations at this time and that her prices started at 500.00. This review was written as an FYI, not so much as a complaint.

Hi, everyone looking for a new CPA! I'm a very happy client telling you to look no further. I moved here in July of 2016 to start my first business (specifically, a hair salon). As a Penn State graduate with a degree in accounting, I knew the importance of having a second set of eyes on my monthly financial reporting and tax preparation. I chose Mr. Thorn based on fantastic reviews left by other happy clients, and now I joined the club! First of all, I was absolutely delighted to learn that he accepts new clients. They booked me within a week to consult with me. I met with his assistant
